Age and Sources of Lower Mesozoic Metasedimentary Rocks of the Un’ya-Bom Terrane in the Mongol–Okhotsk Fold Belt: Results of U–Pb Geochronological (LA-ICP-MS) and Sm–Nd Isotope Studies

Аннотация

The results of U–Th–Pb geochronological study indicate that the youngest peaks on the relative probability curves of the age obtained for the Un’ya-Bom terrane correspond to ages of 207 and 212 Ma. These values were obtained for zircons from the meta-aleurolite samples from the Kurnal and Amkan formations, respectively. Similar age estimates for the youngest peaks were also obtained in the case of detrital zircons from the metasedimentary rocks of the Tukuringra terrane in the eastern part of the Mongol–Okhotsk fold belt, which indicates that, within the belt, Lower Mesozoic flyshoid complexes are much more widespread than was assumed. Based on the geochronological and Sm–Nd isotopic data obtained, it was shown that the material was carried to the sedimentation basin mainly from the continental massifs of the Amur superterrane.
